 German  tennis player and World number 3 ranked player  Alexander Zverev  was expelled from the  ATP 500 tournament in Acapulco, Mexico  for “unsportsmanlike conduct” after smashing his racket repeatedly against the umpire’s chair following a double defeat.

The German later apologised for his behaviour after he and Brazil’s Marcelo Melo lost 6-2 4-6 (10-6) to the British-Finn pair of Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara.

Zverev came  close to hitting umpire Alessandro Germani  during his tantrum in Mexico.
